Manchester United will make an improved bid for Leighton Baines this week as
the Barclays Premier League champions prepare to fly to Thailand for the
start of their pre-season tour without Robin van Persie.

United are due to travel to Bangkok on Wednesday for the first leg of their
three-week, 24,000-mile round tour of Asia and Australia.

David Moyes is hoping to make a breakthrough in his efforts to strengthen his
squad in the coming days, with United likely to offer around £15 million for
Baines after Everton rejected an initial £12 million bid for the England
left back.
